Pros

Great team Scope for growth and internal mobility Free lunch Flexible work hours

Cons

Company has been in the news quite a bit for various reasons. The mood in the company isn't great and the values of the company don't seem to align what the market thinks of them. Some data science work is not really data science and involves mostly building reports. Due to how big the organization is, what you do has minimal impact and you don't feel a part of the company
